College essay on a topic you feel strongly about. Apathy. Excuse the shiny college lingo.
Something that I wholeheartedly endorse is self-improvement. If someone is dissatisfied with their character, I believe that it is completely within that person’s abilities to improve specific aspects of themselves. It is our responsibility to correct the problems we see in ourselves. But what happens when we recognize problems but fail to mitigate them? It goes by many names, but I prefer apathy.
The saying goes, “accept the unchangeable, change the unacceptable.” With this in
mind, apathy is accepting the unacceptable. It is to grow comfortable with a flaw in the same way our eyes adjust to darkness. With enough time, we can forget how much brighter things can be in the light.
Most people aren’t overwhelmed with apathy in all areas of their life. It’s much more likely for a person to be apathetic toward one or two seemingly inconsequential things. Life goes on no matter what, but apathy towards our character flaws keeps us from becoming the people we are made to become.
Apathy doesn’t just affect the individual. When someone is apathetic about something, it can discourage someone from being inspired toward the same thing. Just as enthusiasm is contagious, apathy can spread from one person to another. Many hands make light work, but apathy makes many hands heavy. At the largest, worst scale, apathy pulls society to a grinding halt. Social change stagnates and everything stays the same forever. While at first thought this may seem tolerable, even preferable, when compared with the unknown future, but an unchanging world offers no future at all. Society must continue to take steps toward an unreachable utopia. It is our responsibility.
Apathy is a social disease. Just as autoimmune diseases inhibit the body to fight off infection, apathy inhibits society to fight off injustices present today.

A summer to-do list.
- Read ten books
- Get up at the same time each day
- Get a job, earn money
- Buy a decent delay and fuzz pedal
- Learn the guitar parts to an entire Strokes album
- Learn to play a moderately difficult Coldplay song from sheet music - no looking at my hands
- Read the Bible daily
- Write more essays, poetry, journals, lyrics, blogs, anything
- Get into a habit of working out/running
- Set aside time each day to write an entire album from the ground up
If you see me this summer, ask how this is going. I’m gonna need help and encouragement.
I’ve been on such a huge Jack White kick lately. He’s too good.
